Very few women have directed multiple feature films, Mary has directed four. In an era when few women did so, Mary cinematically trailblazed by also taking on cinematography and editing on her features, which she also wrote. The New York Times called HOME "beautifully acted" and several reviewers noted Marcia Gay Harden's performance to be Oscar worthy.

In spite of her interest in cinema's technical aspects, at the core is always story. Mary has been working on a book about the cold war, a culmination of tens years of research and investigation.
